With a lighter color Glimmer Mist, spray the larger flowers. With a darker color spray the smaller flowers and paint the smaller one a solid color.

Step 3.

With your Luminiere Paint, on the back side of the flowers paint just the petals.
Ink the edges of the petals using a soft black chalk ink.
Clip in between the petals of the smaller 2 flowers just a bit.

Step 4.

Using the thin handle on a paint brush, curl the petals of the larger flower in onto the right side of the flower. Curl the petals on one flower tighter than the other as shown in the photo. You should see the side that you painted with the Luminiere on top of the curled petals. Repeat for the smaller flowers. Curl in the petals of the smallest flower also.

Step 5.
Now, Stack the flowers by the largest loosely curled flower on the bottom, followed by the tightly curled large flower, then the loosely curled medium flower, then the tightly curled flower, then last on top is the smallest flower. Use glue, tape runner, glue dots or your favorite adhesive to attach each layer.

Step 6.

Place any kind of middle you would like for the flowers. Buttons, Brads, Small flowers, I chose 3 simple pearls in the one in the photo.

Step 7.

With your Rock Candy Stickles, just touch the edges of the top of the curled petals of the flower.

Step 8.

While the stickles are still wet, dip the flower into the Diamond dust, and shake off slightly.

Your beautiful flowers are done.
You could substitute glitter or stickles for the diamond dust just to give the flower shimmer.
You could use patterned paper or cardstock in a solid color.
I love Prima's Fiesta Flowers, and they gave me the inspiration to create these. Hope you like them!! Link back to me if you make them, I would love to see what you come up with!!

Hi Lisa! Thanks for visiting my blog. These flowers are gorgeous!! I love the colors and the diamond dust! You're right; we do have similar flowers. Prima makes so many beautiful flowers that it's difficult NOT to be inspired by them. Some flowers are apparently easier to simulate than others. Thanks for sending me the link to your blog. Natasha

Hi Lisa, First of all, your flowers are awesome and I can't wait to try making them. Second your play list rocks!!!! LOL!! I normally turn my volume down when I'm blog hopping, but this time I left it on even while looking at my mail and going to my other sites. LOL!! What a fab assortment of music. That's so who I am. I love it all! (especially Daughtry. LOL)
